All You Need To Know About Solar Energy
This article is all about the major things you need to know about solar energy; such as, the meaning of solar energy, solar energy equipment or components, cost of some of the equipment/components, Advantages of this renewable/solar energy, etc.
What is Solar Energy?
Solar energy as the name implies is the type of energy that emanates from the sun. It is a type of energy that is generated by trapping the rays of sunlight and converting it into electrical energy. I know you might have probably heard of energy conversions or the first law of thermodynamics that states that “energy can neither be created nor destroyed by can be converted from one form to another”, solar energy is that kind of energy that is generated by converting the heat from sunlight into an electrical energy capable of carrying industrial equipment, home appliances, etc…. This energy generated from the sun is known to be durable depending on the choice of your solar equipment…
Solar energy can also be called “Green energy or renewable energy”, this is because it can be recharged once exhausted…. Also recall that under types of energy, in science, we have what we call renewable and non-renewable energy…. (renewable energy are energy that can be renewed once exhausted, e.g: hydro-electricity, Wind energy, Solar Energy, etc. While non-renewable energy are those energy that cannot be renewed once exhausted, e.g: fossil fuel, etc.). However, Solar energy is said to be a renewable or green energy because of its ability to be recharged after exhausting the stored energy using the sunlight
What are the advantages of solar energy?
solar energy is very important because of the following reasons:
- it can be renewed after exhausting
- it saves you the cost of constantly purchasing fossil fuel
- the current generated are good, from pure sine wave
- it has a very long life span
- very little maintenance is required
- It is relatively affordable for the result given
- it can be used to power both large and small equipment
- with the use of solar inverter, you can charge the solar battery using an alternate power supply (AC)
- Easy installation
- Fast installation
- it is the energy of the future: we now have electric cars that can be charged with electricity, etc.
Component/equipment.
below are the component needed to set up a solar energy system and their uses
- Solar Panel: This is a special plate coated with chemicals to enable trapping of heat from the sunlight. The amount of sunlight trapped is dependent on the area of the solar panel and the quality of the chemicals and plate too. (suggested: solar panel installation in Abuja)
- Solar Inverter: This is a component that is connected to the solar battery and linked to the solar panel. It is made with LCD display to show the range of the battery when charging, or fully charged. It also has the ability to display major statistics of the solar system…. The solar inverter varies in size which is dependent on price and efficiency. (see the list of common solar inverters: https://www.charisaglow.com/product-category/inverter/)
- Solar Battery: This is the component that is used to store the trapped light from the sunlight. solar batteries comes in various sizes capacities and makes. (see list of common solar batteries and their prices here: https://www.charisaglow.com/product-category/inverter-battery/)
- Other installation components: These are others minor installation tools used in the connecting the solar components together…. Also note that we have other other components called expanded solar component used to achieve maximum output of the solar energy system.
Where to Purchase Solar components: batteries, inverters and panels
When it comes to the purchase of solar components, it is very important that you factor discount and quality. And this can be found at Charis Aglow enterprises.
